The wavy cabin (stage 2)

One tricky thing I have been bad at dealing with, are the dovetails between the tie beams and the wall plates. The curves and bends on my timbers made the chalk lining-up very important, I should have centered the lines where the dovetails are. The difference in thickeness of the timber is also a slight problem for the esthetics. Definitely a prototype.  

The puzzle begins

Wall plates up, braced, few pegs, solid.

You can see that some dovetails open slightly. It is what it is :)

For the rafters, felling, splitting and finishing with the draw knife

I'm pretty happy. For a project done on my free times only, usually before and after work, it's looking good and really sturdy.

Little friends already playing on it...
